Bulldog Drummond (Crime Classics)

When the formidable Captain Hugh 'Bulldog' Drummond places an advert in the paper, hungry for adventure following the First World War, he embarks on a career as the invincible protectorate of his country. His first reply comes from a beautiful young woman, who sends him racing off to investigate what at first looks like blackmail but turns out to be far more complicated and dangerous. The rescue of a kidnapped millionaire, later found with his thumbs horribly mangled, leads Drummond to the discovery of a political conspiracy of awesome scope and villainy, masterminded by the ruthless Carl Peterson.
